Re: Are EVs really better than regular gas powered Vehicles?
EV drivers are mostly caring people. They like me and many of my friends have solar grid tied systems. Even with that I still know to never charge during peak hours. I let my solar help the grid during peak and use their wasted energy off peak.
In FACT good advanced battery EV's can help the grid during peak hours. Read about V2G Vehicle to grid systems. Google and ACPropulsion are using that now. A few caring peole can change the world. Some older thinking engineers only see problems. The new green generation see opportunity !
They can't shut down at night and send giga watts of energy away at night. I look at the entire picture and help all I can. I even buy green energy (donate) while I make more than I need and never use the renewable energy I donate for.
If everyone would spread their use to off peak hopurs it would help us all. It would reduce the loads and loss during peak hours on the powerplants, grid and transformers.
